Denver - As we wait for the results of the fifth round of voting, it’s become clear that this will go no more than six rounds.
The party rules require that the candidate who receives the fewest votes be eliminated from the next ballot. There are three candidates left on the fifth ballot. One will be gone after, meaning there will only be two candidates on the sixth ballot.
It’s shaping up to be a fight between Bob Barr and Mary Ruwart.
After Mike Gravel was eliminated after the fourth ballot, he spoke briefly with reporters. He declined to endorse one of his former opponents.
“That’s not the way I play,” Gravel said. “We’ll let this thing play itself out.”
Gravel also said he would not seek the vice presidential nomination.
“I’ll be a Libertarian for the rest of my life,” he said.
